Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of enzymes in biological systems?
Correct Answer: Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, speeding up biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process.
  • Step 1: Understand that enzymes are special proteins found in living organisms.
  • Step 2: Learn that enzymes help speed up chemical reactions in the body.
  • Step 3: Know that enzymes are called catalysts because they make reactions happen faster.
  • Step 4: Remember that enzymes are not used up in the reactions, so they can be used again.
